Izincwadi ze-Sci-fi: Izinganekwane eziqagelayo sekuyisikhathi eside zikhanga intsha nentsha—ukuheha okungaziwa nomlingo. Kusukela ku-opera yasemkhathini kuye ku-hard sci-fi, kusukela enganekwaneni yesayensi yezempi ukuya kweyangemva kwembubhiso kanye ne-dystopian, futhi kusukela kumaqiniso omlingo kuya kumadragoni, siyazazi izindaba esizithanda futhi esakhulela kuzo kanye nalezo ezijabulisa abafundi namuhla.

IZINCWADI Ezinconyiwe ZEENTSHA
Abafundi abasebasha bazowathanda lawa manoveli e-sci-fi nawezinganekwane.
Kodwa obani ababhali obathandayo? Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu kunohlobo.
Noma iyiphi inhlanhla, uhlu lwakho lude.
Ngemicabango yabo emangalisayo, ukuhlekisa, ukuqonda okujulile komuntu siqu kokuhlonipha kanye nokukhetha okunzima, kanye nokuzidela, laba babhali basibandakanya ngendlela incwadi kuphela engenza ngayo. Bese bengeza ulwazi lwesayensi nobuchwepheshe ukuze bakholise futhi bavame ukusifundisa.
Uma lezi zimfanelo zihambisana nokuthanda kwakho ekufundeni, uzozijabulela lezi zincwadi nababhali bezinkanyezi! Lolu akulona uhlu oluphelele lwezincwadi zabantu abadala (okungeke kwenzeke), kodwa izincwadi ezinconyiwe zentsha kanye nabantu abadala kanye nalabo bethu abasebasha.
Ngiyazithanda lezi zincwadi kanye nababhali. Kungenzeka ukuthi usuyazi kakade ezinye zazo, kodwa mhlawumbe ngingakwethula omunye owinile noma ababili ngokubuyekezwa kwencwadi yami.
UYEMUKELWA EMAQINISO EZENZAKALO ZESAYENSI
Bengingabangane nomndeni wakwaGaiman (umbhali wezinganekwane owaziwa umhlaba wonke uNeil Gaiman) iminyaka eminingi. Iqiniso lakhe elisobala mayelana negama elithi "classic" lacaca kimina:
UNeil wayemane wathi “izincwadi zikhethekile; izincwadi ziyindlela esikhuluma ngayo nezizukulwane ezingakafiki.”
Kalula nje, kodwa i-datum ejulile kunoma yimuphi umbhali okufanele azi, akunjalo?
Ngifuna ukuqala ngezakudala ezimbalwa zezinganekwane zesayensi, amanoveli ka-L. Ron Hubbard kanye no-Orson Scott Card.
Inkundla yempi yomhlaba nguL. Ron Hubbard
L. Ron Hubbard wabhala emkhakheni we-sci-fi nezinye izinganekwane amashumi eminyaka. Ukuze agubhe iminyaka engama-50 nomnyuziyamu, wethule indondo ngenoveli yakhe enobuciko enamakhasi ayi-1,000: Inkundla yempi yomhlaba. Ngayithenga futhi ngayifunda incwadi, futhi ngenza kanjalo wonke umuntu endlini yami, kusukela ebusheni kuya phezulu. Kwakuchwaza abantu beyifunda yonke indawo—amabhasi, amatekisi, izindiza, imitapo yolwazi nezindawo zokudlela. Ngisho nosopolitiki oyedwa ovelele wamemezela ukuthi le noveli ye-sci-fi yayiyincwadi ayithanda kakhulu. Ikhuphuke ngamashadi athengiswa kakhulu.
Kuwumlando wokuzidela, isibindi, nesibindi lapho umuntu ewuhlobo lwezilwane ezisengozini futhi ukusinda kwekusasa lokho okusele kohlanga lwesintu kusengozini. Iqhawe elincane liphuma emlotheni ukuze lihlanganise isintu emzamweni wokugcina wenkululeko oqubuka kuwo wonke amazwekazi oMhlaba futhi ekugcineni unqamule ukusabalala kwe-cosmic ye-Galaxy. I-epic sci-fi ngempela.
Kulo nyaka kugujwa iminyaka engu-40 kwasungulwa lo mqulu ovelele. Ishumi leminyaka lokuphuma nokuphuma, umshicileli usathola izincwadi ezinemininingwane yokuthakasela le ndaba eqanjiwe kanye nezinkulungwane zezibuyekezo ku. Amazon futhi Engazwakalayo (enye yezincwadi ezilalelwayo ezihamba phambili ze-sci-fi ezake zaba khona). Eqinisweni, ngiphinde ngayifunda futhi kulo nyaka, futhi inothe kakhulu kunalokho engangikukhumbula!
Ngenxa yokuthi idume kakhulu entsheni kanye nencwadi ephelele yezinganekwane zesayensi yesikole esiphakathi, iyingxenye yohlelo lokufunda olusheshisiwe (AR 5.8 / 62 points, Lexile 780, GRL Z+). Ine-a uhlelo lwezifundo futhi umhlahlandlela weqembu lokufunda etholakalayo. Ungafunda eyokuqala Izihloko ze-13 khulula noma ulalele i ihora lokuqala yomsindo ukuze uzihlolele wona. Ngiyakuxwayisa, kuyalutha.
I-Ender's Game ngu-Orson Scott Card
Ngijabule kakhulu ukudlulisa indesheni ku-Orson Scott Card exaka ingqondo I-Ender's Game. Walandela nochungechunge lwezincwadi ukuze aqhubekisele phambili umhlaba wakhe oyingqayizivele noshukumisayo lapho ngokuphazima kweso izingane zaba amaqhawe agqanyisiwe futhi ngokuvamile izigilamkhuba emhlabeni wobuchwepheshe obusha obumangalisayo kanye nempi emnandi, yekusasa. Izinto ezinhle kakhulu, nomunye umbhali okwazi ukuphinda afunde futhi afunde kabusha.
Kulokhu, iqhawe lethu elincane (futhi ngiqonde ukuthi lincane ngempela lapho uhambo lwalo luqala) lidinga ukunqoba ubuxhwanguxhwangu emndenini walo futhi ligibele esiteshini sasemkhathini lapho liziqeqesha. Ukucindezela kontanga nokuqina kuka-Ender ohambweni lwaleli qhawe kulungile entsheni. Bazokwazi ukuhambisana.
War of the Worlds nguHG Wells
Enye yezintandokazi zami zakuqala i-HG Wells' War of the Worlds, engaqala ukuyizwa idlalwa njengomdlalo emsakazweni. Lapho isisebenzi sasemtatsheni wezincwadi singithola le ncwadi, ngabona ukuthi yanyatheliswa okokuqala ngo-1897. Isisebenzi sasemtapweni samanzi sangiqinisekisa ukuthi abafundi abaningi abaneminyaka engu-11 no-12 ubudala bayayilanda lapho izingane zakubo ezeva eshumini nambili belethe le ncwadi ekhaya ukuze bazifundele. Uyibize ngokuthi “intandokazi yaphakade,” eye yaqhubeka ibandakanya abafundi abasebasha!
Lena indaba yokuthi iplanethi yethu ihlaselwe i-Mars. U-HG Wells wenza umsebenzi oncomekayo wokukufaka endabeni, kuthuse abantu emigwaqweni ngesikhathi kuqala uhlelo lomsakazo. Iplanethi yabakwaMartians isiphenduke indawo engasahlali muntu njengoba izinsiza zabo zincipha, ngakho bahlasela uMhlaba ngezinhlelo zokuwuthatha bawenze ikhaya labo elisha. Kuyathusa futhi kuyaheha.
Dune nguFrank Herbert
Le ndaba yangithatha yangiyisa endaweni engingayazi ekude emkhathini. Iqhawe usemusha ozuza njengefa umthwalo omkhulu wemfanelo ngenxa yohlelo lwesitha olusontekile uyise, u-Duke Leto, aba isisulu salo. Kuyitulo eliyinkimbinkimbi elinokuningi okwenzekayo, kodwa ubuqotho nodumo lweqhawe nomndeni walo ukulungisa izinto kuyagqama.
UFrank Herbert wathuthukisa le ndaba yaba uchungechunge lwamanoveli oluhlakaniphile, olulandelwa abafundi emhlabeni wonke. Kukhona ukwenziwa kabusha kwemuvi kwakamuva kakhulu. Kuyamangaza.
Isakhiwo somhlaba sibanzi, sinqamula imithala. Iningi lendaba likuplanethi ewugwadule i-Arrakis (ebizwa nangokuthi i-Dune) okuwukuphela kwayo okubalulekile okuthekelisa isidakamizwa esaziwa ngokuthi “izinongo” noma i-melange. Izwe eliyingozi lapho amanzi omzimba wakho edinga ukulondolozwa lapho ungaphandle. Ngaphezu kwezingozi zamaqembu ezitha afuna ukulawula izinongo, kukhona nezibungu ezinkulu ezingase zicekele phansi izindawo zokumba izinongo. Ibhalwe kahle kakhulu, ungawuzwa uhlaza lokuphila esitshalweni esimbozwe yisihlabathi.
Kodwa uma ungayifundi ngempela incwadi, ungazikhohlisi ngalokho okuhlangenwe nakho, kulungile?
I-star wars nguGeorge Lucas
I-Star Wars kufanele kukhulunywe ngayo lapha, kodwa kuphela ngenxa yokuthi indaba nabalingiswa abadalwe ngu-George Lucas kanye nesipoki esibhalwe u-Alan Dean Foster sekuyindaba edumile ekhuthaza uthando lwezinganekwane zesayensi entsheni, abantu abasha, kanye nathi sonke amashumi eminyaka.
Kwakumangalisa kakhulu ukubona esibukweni. Imigqa yokuvula izohlala kimi kuze kube phakade, sethula indaba ye-opera yasemkhathini njengoba iza kithi kusukela kudala emthaleni okude. Umphakathi wazinikela kule ndaba ngaso leso sikhathi. Manje “sekuyimpahla ye-multimedia” esezandleni zababhali nabadwebi bezithombe abaningi, okuhlanganisa namanoveli amaningi e-Star Wars (izincwadi ezinkulu ze-sci-fi zabantu abadala).
I-Star Wars yabhebhezela amalangabi abathandi be-sci-fi!
Imidlalo yokulamba nguSuzanne Collins
Lapho sihlanganisa leli qoqo le-sci-fi yakudala eyigugu ngempela, indaba yokugcina engifuna ukuyisho kufanele kube uSuzanne Collins ngomdlalo wakhe wesithathu omangalisayo, Imidlalo yokulamba. Kwashanela isizinda sabalandeli emhlabeni jikelele. Lolu chungechunge lwezincwadi zabantu abadala lunegama elithi “YA”, kodwa ngazi abafundi abasuka ku-9 kuya ku-99 abangabalandeli balezi zincwadi.
Kule ndaba ye-dystopian, iqhawe lethu elincane u-Katniss Everdeen uqalisa isenzo ngokuvolontiya esikhundleni sikadadewabo omncane emdlalweni ononya lapho intsha iqhudelana khona ukuze ilwe kuze kube sekufeni (noma cishe kunjalo). Ingenye yezincwadi zabadala eziphezulu eziphezulu ezinesizathu esihle. U-Katniss unesibindi namandla futhi ufuna ukusinda. Uphansi emhlabeni futhi uhlobene. Amathuba awanakwenzeka futhi abalingisi abalingiswa bayakhumbuleka. Kukhulu ukuphunyula.
IMICABANGO ENGEZIWE
Bengifuna ukungeza okuthile okwengeziwe Inkundla yempi yomhlaba.
Sengibubonile ubufakazi bomthelela wale noveli iminyaka neminyaka manje. Uthisha wasesikoleni esiphakeme wake wangitshela ukuthi eminyakeni eyishumi nane yokufundisa, “uMnu. Izindlu zika-Hubbard Inkundla yempi yomhlaba bekuyisifundo esihle kubafundi bami abathanda isayensi yezinganekwane. Kuzokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo, ngonyaka ka-3000, lapho i-Psychlos isibuse iplanethi iminyaka eyikhulu, futhi manje uMuntu uyisilwane esisengozini yokushabalala.”
Abafundi bakhe bangene shi endabeni. Bangaziphonsa nje emcabangweni wombhali, endaweni yonke ayakhile, bagijime nayo. Laba bafundi abasebasha babanjwe endikimbeni yokuthi yini indoda eyodwa engayenza lapho ibhekene nezingqinamba ezibonakala zingenakuxazululeka kuyilapho ijatshuliswa kahle isigcawu ngemva kwesigameko njengefilimu ehehayo ngempela. I-adventure ephezulu inzima, futhi imibono emisha ngezimo ezikhulayo iphakamisa amathemba abafundi ngokuphindaphindiwe.
Indodakazi yami uqobo yacosha kuqala Inkundla yempi yomhlaba lapho eneminyaka engu-10 futhi akakwazanga ukuyeka ukuyifunda. Waphinda wayifunda ngemva kweminyaka embalwa, waphinda lapho eseneminyaka engu-16. Njengomuntu omdala, uye waqhubeka eyifunda ngezikhathi ezithile. Usagcwele izimanga ngokuqaphela ukunotha kwendaba, izilungiselelo zayo, abalingisi, ububanzi, nokuningi, noma nini lapho noma ubani wethula i-sci-fi noma Inkundla yempi yomhlaba njengesihloko sengxoxo.
LUQALA KANJANI UTHANDO LWAMI LOKUFUNDA
Bengingumfundi oshisekayo kusukela ngineminyaka eyisithupha, futhi nakuba ngike ngasampula zonke izinhlobo zamanoveli, kufanele ngivume ukuthi i-sci-fi ingithola kaningi.
Lokhu kwaqala lapho ngineminyaka engu-9 noma engu-10 futhi ngathola inoveli kaJules Verne Uhambo oluya esikhungweni somhlaba. Ngiyigodlile kumfowethu amasonto ambalwa ngenkathi ngithela phezu kwayo, ngokuphindaphindiwe, ngizama ukukholelwa inhlanhla yami ngokuthola le ndaba emangalisayo! Futhi lapho ekugcineni nginquma ukuthi ngingayibuyisela incwadi emtatsheni wezincwadi, ngaqala ukuqasha amalungu omkhaya nabangane ukuba bayifunde.
Kungani? Ngoba ngangivutha bhe ngesasasa nokumangala. Ngangifuna ukuxoxa nabanye ngale ncwadi! Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi yingakho amaqembu ezincwadi ethandwa kangaka. Ngokuhlanganyela uthando lwencwadi enhle—kanye nothando oluvuthayo lokufunda—ngathola ukuthi kwakunezincwadi ezithakazelisa kakhulu, “izinganekwane zesayensi” ezengeziwe. Ngangibanjwe wumlutha.
Lokho bekungaba ngama-1950s (ungenzi izibalo ukuze uqhamuke neminyaka yami, kulungile?). Iphuzu elibalulekile ukuthi incwadi engayithanda yayisivele IMINYAKA AMASHUMI Ayisishiyagalolunye emuva ngaleso sikhathi!
Ithini indaba yakho? Iyiphi incwadi eyangena enhliziyweni nasemcabangweni wakho eyaqala uthando lwakho lokufunda impilo yonke?
ISIPHETHO
Yeka ubuhlakani obuhle obungalethwa yilezi zasendulo ze-sci-fi kumfundi. Umgomo wami lapha uwukuncoma izindaba ezimbalwa ezinhle ngempela. Zingase zingabi izincwadi ezithandwa kakhulu zabantu abadala, kodwa ziqinisekile ukuthi zizobandakanya futhi zizosiza intsha kanye nabantu abadala abasha bathole uthando lokufunda.
Ngiyakuhalalisela ngokukhetha lolu hlobo lomculo olucebile, futhi ngikufisela amahora amaningi, amaningi ajabulisayo okufunda.
I-athikili ishicilelwe ekuqaleni ngu IGALAXY PRESS
UJudith Duckhorn, owaziwa ngabangane bakhe ngoJae, uzichaza ngokuthi “iqhawe lebutho elikhulile,” njengoba uyise, owayeyisikhulu sebutho lezempi phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, eKorea, nangeMpi Yomshoshaphansi, wayethatha umndeni wakhe omncane nomaphi lapho ayekhona. wabelwa, emazwenikazi amathathu. Uthole ithuba lokufunda unyaka owodwa e-Oxford University ekuhlanganiseni iziqu ze-BA kwezemibhalo, ifilosofi, kanye nomculo. Kamuva, washintsha ingxenye enkulu yaleyo mfundo yaba ikhono lokufundisa futhi wawuthanda lowo msebenzi. Kulezi zinsuku, u-Jae uthuthuke ngenjabulo esikalini sokuqeqeshwa kwe-Toastmasters, njengesikhulumi somphakathi, futhi ufundela ukufundisa i-Tai chi. Izincwadi zika-L. Ron Hubbard zafika ekunakekelweni kwakhe eminyakeni eminingi edlule, futhi zihlala ziyinto ebaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni wakhe. “Ngifunda okuningi njalo ngokufunda uRon,” usho kanje, “Yeka umxoxi wezindaba, yeka umbhali wezindaba!”
